context_page_description: Nancy Dillow is a Canadian museum director, curator and writer.
context_section_description: Dillow became director of the Norman Mackenzie Art Gallery (now MacKenzie Art Gallery) in Regina, Saskatchewan in February 1967.  At the same time, she was appointed as a lecturer in art history at the Regina campus. She created exhibitions and catalogues  at first working with Robert Welsh, a scholar from University of Toronto; the two organized a show of Piet Mondrian and The Hague School of Painting in 1969. She then concentrated on Saskatchewan artists; in 1971, in combination with Terry Fenton and Wayne Morgan, she developed a show and catalogue of these artists.
  In her role as museum director, Dillow researched the attributions of the paintings in the collection of the Norman Mackenzie Gallery and developed an education program. She also helped create a new Outreach program, sending works of art and an educator to explain them to rural Saskatchewan, as well as setting up the Rosemont Centre in southern Regina, later a gallery in its own right. In 1972, she curated an exhibition of eastern Canadian artists at the Edmonton Art Gallery. That year the National Museums of Canada designated the Norman Mackenzie Gallery an associate museum. She served on the University of Regina president’s committee on campus art, helping to select artwork for display in the campus buildings.
  In 1974 she organized an individual show of Marilyn Levine, who was then living in Regina. Dillow, and the Norman Mackenzie Art Gallery, were accused by several artists that year of ignoring the work of local artists. Four ceramic sculptors from the Regina area boycotted an exhibition intended to show the history of ceramic arts in Regina. Dillow, then in her eighth year as director, admitted the validity of their arguments.
  From 1976 to 1978, Dillow served as president of the museums association of Saskatchewan, helping to develop a working relationship with the provincial government. In 1978, Dillow organized a show and wrote a catalogue of the Saskatchewan Arts Board collection. She also developed an exhibit of the work of William Perehudoff as well as one of Victorian Illustrators, which she organized with the help of Sybille Pantazzi at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Also in 1978, she was elected president of the canadian art museum directors association.
